2nd G members, David and Nathan Osmond will be joining us for a Backstage chat on Saturday, June 29, 2002 to accommodate their European fans.

The time for the chat is 2:00 p.m. eastern,1:00 p.m. central, 12:00 p.m. mountain and 11:00 a.m. pacific time.

Mark your calendars now to join Dave & Nate in the Backstage 2nd G Chat Room on Saturday, June 29, 2002 as they talk to us while performing in St. George, Utah doing 'Joseph' and 'Annie Get Your Gun'!

But this is only a couple of the Backstage forum responses that he made....so if you are a Backstage member, head over to the 2nd Generation and Alan Osmond Forums to get the scoops!

David and Nathan are currently involved in the summer production of Annie Get Your Gun and Joseph at the outdoor Tuachan Theatre. They have unexpected elements of nature to overcome, as opening night was cancelled due to a power failure. The guys (and Sarah) spent the evening instead with their family, who travelled down for the event.

We hope if you were planning to attend, that you will consider scheduling another performance as they are not to be missed!

The guys are performing in 'Annie Get Your Gun' and 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' Their proud father, Alan even sent us note regarding his reaction to their performance!

Break a leg, Dave & Nate!

This is the first time many people around the world will be able to see this broadcast, brought to you through an affiliation of the One Heart Foundation and the Children's Miracle Network.

Now you don't have to miss a beat. This year you can watch the Telethon on demand. This is an exciting first-ever event, not only for the Osmond Network and One Heart Foundation, but for the Children's Miracle Network. All the fun, at the same time we are strengthening kids.

There are many great guests coming your way. Some include Jessica Andrews (video clip), Diamond Rio and Larry King. You can download Quick Time to view the video events.

This year, on its 20th Anniversary, the Children's Miracle Network will present George and Olive Osmond with an annual grant of $10,000 for the aid of hearing impaired children, something the senior Osmonds have wanted to do since starting the Osmond Foundation. All of the Osmond family, except Mother Olive will be in attendance during the 10th hour of the telecast, for this tribute. Olive Osmond continues in recovery from a stroke earlier this year.

Watch, too, for some exciting news about what One Heart will be doing to help the hearing impaired. There will be more coming soon, on this important September event.

To everyone that has written on the forums, guestbooks and via emails, we are pleased to announce that on this special Memorial Day, we have listed the song titles, lyrics and the Second Generation member that sings a particular verse of their latest CD, "I Love America."

Well head off to the Osmond auction site under 'Collectibles' to find a special concert jacket (Item #1022637601) that he wore on tour, in concerts and for promotional photos which includes an autographed photograph of him wearing it!

If you'd like more recent memorabilia, Mike and Beka are offering an actual wedding invitation (Item # 1022637600) with a copy of their engagement photo. Be sure to bid early to get these rare items! As usual, a portion of the proceeds will benefit One Heart.

Stay tuned to the Backstage Pressroom pages for the articles and photos in the coming days for inclusion in the clipfiles!

We all know that that means the beginning of the production of Joseph and Annie Get Your Gun starring David and Nathan of the 2nd Generation in St. George, Utah!

The guys called to let us in on the final casting calls and a few other surprises!

Head over to the the Osmond auction site and click on the 'collectibles' link to place a bid on the rare treasure. But hurry because the auction will be ending soon!

Be sure to place your bid to help the boys save for their mission funds!

David and Nathan of the 2nd Generation have put some time aside to join us in a Backstage chat on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 at 7:00 pm MST. The guys will be spending some time with us before they head down to St. George, Utah for the summertime productions of 'Joseph' and 'Annie Get Your Gun.'

The talent that we booked for Stadium of Fire© is so HOT, that we could not keep the lid on it! Yes, it's true . . . Toby Keith is coming to Stadium of Fire©! He is even promoting it on his own website.

Hope to see everyone there - it's going to be a blast !!

To those of you who have shown your support for the brothers' decision, we thank you. However, we do understand there are some of you who are unhappy with this decision. While some of the comments made have been disappointing, everyone is certainly entitled to their feelings on this matter.

Anyone who has followed the Osmonds' careers, know they always go above and beyond for their fans. They love and care for all of you, and you'll not find many celebrities who take such an active part in personally contributing to their websites. They work closely with their staff to be sure the latest information is made available, that photos of current events are shared, they answer your questions, occasionally make special items available through silent auctions, and even have contribution from their children when possible. All of these things, and so much more, are done in an attempt to make everyone feel "connected" in the most positive way.

The brothers felt their forum was no longer an uplifting and positive aspect to the site, and though the decision was a hard one, it was one they felt had to be made. We ask that you take just a moment to reflect on the wonderful memories you have as a fan of the Osmonds, and hope that everyone will be able to come to support this decision.

Have a great weekend guys!

Based upon various concerns, including, but not limited to, copyright and privacy issues, the management of the Osmond Network wishes to state its policies with respect to certain items.

The Osmond Network will no longer allow videos taken by individuals to be listed for auction. These include rehearsal and concert footage and any footage an individual may have taken of an Osmond at a private or public function, including footage taken at weddings, at parties, at home, shopping and the like. All future listings will be immediately removed from the site.

Additionally, we would like to require all sellers be especially clear in describing their items. For example, a "copy" of someone's wedding invitation may be construed by a potential purchaser as one of the many copies printed at the time the invitation was prepared. If the item up for bid is a photocopy, it should clearly state that it is a "photocopy" so as not to mislead a potential purchaser.

We appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and respect for the above policies. Visiting the auction site today may yeild that long-eluded item, including mint or sealed albums and items from the 1970s and 1980s.

Before closing, may we request that you update your auction profile by using the Change Registration link. Many closing notices have been returned to the site as undeliverable and we're sure you don't want to miss out on the item you bid on.

Osmond Network Staff
